San Francisco Call, October 8, 1905
“John Finnell Is Dead.
 
John Finnell, a pioneer rancher of Tehama, and one of the best known men in 
Northern California, died yesterday at Burk's sanitarium, in Sonoma County, 
after a short illness. Death was due to a complication of diseases and old age. 
He was a native of Kentucky and came to California in the early days. He 
engaged in farming in Tehama County and later branched out into other 
enterprises of a most successful character. He always had great faith in the 
future of California.
 
The death of Mr. Finnell was not unexpected, as he had been very low for 
several days. The members of his family were at his bedside when he passed 
away. He was 75 years of age. He is survived by a large family of children, 
among whom are Mrs. W. G. Uridge, Mrs. R. B. Saffold, and Fontain, Williamson, 
Sampson, John Jr., James and Bush Finnell. 

The funeral of the deceased will be held to-morrow at 2 p. m. from the Masonic 
Temple in Napa. Interment will be in the Napa cemetery.” END
